A new method of removing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in the sea has been outlined by scientists.

The new technique captures CO2 from the atmosphere up to three times more efficiently than current methods, according to researchers.

The idea sees the planet-warming gas transformed into bicarbonate of soda and stored safely and cheaply in seawater.

Experts say widespread use of carbon capture technology will be required if the world is to avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis.
